Veterinary school curriculums, filled with rapidly expanding technology, simply cannot provide the practical instruction necessary to the relatively few graduates who will be in equine practice. Far too many patients and personnel are injured every year, and too much costly equipment is damaged by frightened and resistant equine patients. Such problems can be greatly minimized by an appropriate approach and skillful handling.

Long-time experienced practitioner and internationally recognized equine behaviorist Robert M Miller, DVM, was asked to produce this handbook. Although specifically aimed at students, it will also be of value to recreational horse owners performing routine doctoring on their animals. Filled with pictures and illustrations, and concise, easy-to-understand language. See Western Horseman book review below
